FROM CHARLESTON.
CHARLEsToN. MISS. June 16. 18S

CHARLESTON, Mss, June 16, 1887.
Mr.. EDITOR:
Our Circuit Court which adjourned
last Friday, was attended by all the
candidates for District Attorney except
Mr.. Whitfield, and on Monday last all
gave us nice speeches.
Joe Slack, who was raised in this coun-
ty, made fine impression and will get
the most of the votes here. 1t is my
opinion that he will get more votes in
this county than all the other candidates
put together. On Saturday last, crowd
of ten voters were sitting at store door
here, when the proposition was made to
take the vote for District Attorney, Joe
Slack got s votes, Oglesby 2 and Cook /.
/ believe this is pretty good indication
of the whole county, though Mr.. Oglesby
is popular here and our people woula be
glad to vote for him, yet on this occasion,
they can't do it. They must vote for Joe
Slack. So you may put this county down
certainly for Joe by large majority. Our
crops are fine and our people, for the first
time since the'tcar, are happy. There is
quite different feeling in this county now
from wnat it has been. Our people
seem to be better satisfied, our lands are
going up in value, and they (the people,
seem to be at home again. I look for a
much better state of things in the future
than we have had since the war. Our
black people are better satisfied and are
doing better this year than they have
ever done since they were freed, and
many of them are becoming good citizens
and raising industrious families, who are
being educated pretty well. Hoping this
little communication will be inter ,sting
to your readers, I am very respectfully
.e.. Yours,
TALLAHATCHIAN,

10 the Democratic Voters Of Gpnad@
County: aa
When I announced myself u candidate
for the nomination of the Democratic
party as Senator of this District, l did SO
with wha. regard reliable information
that Ouitman county would not ask for
the representation this time, and upon
the presumption that the time honored
usage of the party throughout the State,
OF alternating among the counties of a
District in the selection of candidate
would be observed in this District this
year,
The 36th District composed of Grenada,
Tallahatchie aud Quitman was organized
in 1882. In 1883 the Hon. j. j. Gsgs,
then and now citizen of Grenada, was
nominated and elected the first Senator.
By virtue of the usage mentioned it is
now the turn of Tallbhatchie or Quitman.
Quitman does not ask for it. Talla-
hatchie does.
This however is a custom which has
not risen to the dignity Of law Of the
party, and disregard oft by aspirants
in Grenada county, does not detract from
their fidelity as Democrats. As Messrs.
Bledsoe and Gage, Of your county, are
candidates for the nomination, l deem 1t
but courteous to let their contest for your
preference, go forward without any inter.
ference whatever on my part. therefore
say to my friends of Grenada county,
signify your choice Of the two gentlemen
mentioned, without regard to your
preference Of Inc over both.
I shallrbe otherwise taken care OF in
the race for nomination.
Very respectfully.
w. s. EsKRIDGE.

The Work Of the Mississippi Mineral
and Mining Company ON Tuesday.

The Mississippi Mineral and Mining
Company met on last Tuesday at Wilkins
Hall in Duck Hill, with largely over a
quorum present, with their able President
Capt. John Powell in the chair, their
courteous Secretary, W. s. Gwarteney
at the desk. After a few preliminary
usages on such occasions, the committee
on bylaws reported through their intel>
Iigent chairman, DR.. P. W. Peoples.
After being read as whole for informa.
tiou, they were adopted seriatim, after
being considerably discussed in some
particulars. The members present were
in earnest on all the points mooted in the
the discussion of their rules Of govern
ment, which were finally agreed upon as
they came from the committee. During
their long and patient sitting, fifteen
thousand dollars were subscribed, and
ten thousand acres of the best mineral
lands within radius Of few miles Of
Duck Hill we're bought. The committee
appointed to examine the value of lands,
and take options, was continued with
instructions to receive in pay one hall
cash and the other half In stock of tt .
company. The committee on the expenses
of the machinery for the making Of fire
brick" reported, and they were instructed
to collect specimens Of the various clays
in the neighborhood intended for this
purpose, and send them to experts in the
business of making fire brick, and have
them fully tested with the view Of at
once establishing the business on a suita-
bic scale. This is about the work of the
company during long and harmonious
session, where deep interest in the
proceedings was evident during the
whole patient sitting. They adjourned
to meet in July, which we hope will
bring out every member, and large
assemblage of interested citizens from the
surrounding country.

The wall that comes from the "South-
ern Bivouac," published and ably edited
at Louisville, KY, is another sorrowful
note that comes from Southern enter
prise in trying to make distinct
Southern literature, as this ably edited
magazine is now merged in the Century
OF New York. How many similar efforts
have perished in the same way and Tor
the same cause, (want of patronage) we
do not know, but the forms OF two others
rise up now with their withered faces
and trembling limbs to announce their
brief but struggling life. Southern soil
produces many things conducive to
mans material benefit, but literary
brains amongst us are below par. Cross
the Potomac before you begin to unroll
your treasures of thought, pictures OF
fancy, stubborn facts, and you strike a
congerial atmosphere for mental out
growth. Go to any country post-office
in Mississippi and the cheap, worthless
trash manufactured across the line,
which our people pay for under some
political or religious influence, (and in
many cases seldom read and any think
ing Southern man will turn away In
shame and disgust, when seeing how
little his own accomplishments with the
pen, his own midnight studies, his own
paper perhaps, is appreciated at home,
amongst friends with whom he lives and
for whose interest he works. Articles
written for Northern magazines, and
read amongst educated men at home
with their strongest appreciation, before
sent out on their journey Of experiment
north, are often rejected as worthless
while those same papers abound with the
lucubrations OF a wishy washy sort, from
a set OF cheap scribes, who fill up rheif
columns for nominal pay. Some few
amongst us, by the dint OF brilliant
genius, and persevering effort, shave
made name, if not local habitation"
in Northern journals, but for long time
the door Of admittance was closed. VIII
the time ever come, when southern
people will appreciate . outhern brains,
Southern talents, Southern literature7
Echo seems to answer, never.

GRENADA. MISS. SATURDAY, JUNE rs. 1887.

One of the results of SO many societies,
unions, associations and other organiza.
tons for the promotion OF good morals
in society is that it has produced a set Of
half educated busy tatlers, who 60 about
prying into everybody's business and
purposes, and at the slightest objection
atI sight to their highly infused
imaginations, they HE away to some
credulous newspaper, and pour out a
tale of woe, misery and despair, with
which to flood the country and excite
the sympathies of people who have
nothing else to do but find fault with
everything and everybody but their
virtuous selves. Such now is 'Ex-Guard''
in the Memphis Avalanche Of late date.
His whole tale OF narrowing woes, which
have been strewn all over the State, is
fatty, plainly, truthfully contradicted
by Capt. w. H, Hardy, President OF the
Gulf and Ship Island railroad. The
animus of this whole. wicked, mean
concoction, was to strike left handed
blow at Jones Hamilton, now under the
surveillance Of tho law, almost as power
less as il handcuffed with irons. That
miserable fellow thought it good time
to say something to add to the excite
ment against this injured man.
Capt. Hardy is known to be intelligent
and fearless in the exercise of his pre-
rogative and duties, and would not
tolerate for one moment, anything like
inhumanity to the meanest convict
under his ample supervision. Capt.
Hoskins, the we'll known manager OF the
Gulf and Ship Island railroad, SO far
from hiding his work in taking care OF
the prisoners in his charge, invites
public inspection, and challenges the
closest scrutiny as to how the peniten-
tiary convicts are treated, and guards 60
around and some of them after being
discharged for incompetency, lazness or
some other short-coming, take their spite
in writing falsehoods for tie papers.
Such men are not responsible, but
papers like the Avalanche are, to an
intelligent conservative public opinion,
for being imposed upon by such ire
sponsible parties.

He stands in the stores with his bacl

newspaper; how he could be independent
as q hog on ice, and call things by their
right names; how he could expose cor-
ruption In high places; how he could write
good common sense, and none OF your
frivolous, try-to-be.funny stuff. Then he
criticises other peoples method OF con-
Quoting newspapers. and just wished some
one would give him a chance to show his

of these chaps is to get him to agree to
write q sensible article every day for q

The History OF that Memorable,
Sack Of Flour.

The History OF shat Memorable
Sack Of Flour.
The Elko Independent reprints the
history OF the sanitary sack OF flour
upon which Ruol Colt Gridley In 1864
raised $275, 900 for the benefit Of the
wounded soldiers. II is q history thai
bears reprintipg we'll. Gridley had lost
an election bet in Austin, Nevada, and the
forfeit was that he should carry a sack Of
-four on his shoulders. The bet being
paid. he put it up at auction for the bene-
fit of the Union Sanitary Commission.
The first bid was $500, then $3.50, and
then 81 ,115, and finally it was sold for SIS.
900. Then Gold Hill wanted a chance ct
the sack OF -four, and Mr.. Gridley came
with 1t. Gold Hill paid 1925 for IL.
The party went to Silver City and got ST.,
375, and then to Dayton and got 81, SAT so.
Through the Wsshoe mines they got $22.
600. Virginia putting up Sl2,995 in coin
and some mining stocks. Mr.. Gridley
then went to San Francisco and Sacra-
mento. and finally started for the East with
his original sack Of -four and $63. 900 in
coin, three blocks in Austin aud q house
and lot In Dayton to the credit Of the fund.
Through all his journeying he bore his "
expenses aud the expressage of money.
and raised in coin SITS, 900, which was
promptly turned over to the Sanitary
Commission for the benefit of the soldiers
Of the Union. A monument 20 feet high,
made of California granite and Italian
marble. is soon to be finished and dedi-
Gated In Rural Cemetery. Stockton, Cal,

Sack" The figure is to be made from

so as to closely resemble him. The mi
ment will be raised in the Grand Army
plat, when the foundation is completed,
and the committee is only awaiting the
